GREENE ON THE BRITISH FRONT OUT-| SIDE CAEN, June 30.—Two Ger-/ man officers who were captured in a bloody battle for a chateau southwest of Cambres, waved a white flag “because our troops ran | off and deserted us.” | An officer said the Germans “looked like ghosts, their faces white with terror, and their eyes; red as gimlet holes from what mey} described as “three nights and days| of hell.” When they emerged from a| machine gun nest at the chateau, they said: “We were under orders| to fight to the last bullet and the, last man, but our soldiers broke and ran, so we decided to sur- render. “What would be the use of dying alone? We had nothing hot to |eat, and have been sitting in the rain under that terrible shelling! {for 72 hours.
